Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc at Home, Recipes – Because You Know You’re Getting the Book Anyway

Wow… you actually did a great job! They really are valuable findings, and the final result is pretty neat and enjoyable! Thanks for this book giveaway and congratulations on your blog (which is gorgeous and I am actually pretty much ashamed of myself because I just discovered it a few days ago :( )

YESSSSSS!

Great job on organizing this post!

How awesome is this post? A chance at winning Ad Hoc at Home with a built-in consolation prize of a lovely list of recipes already found on the web. I have a sweet tooth so anything under ‘dessert’ would be fantastic. Now, I’m off to tweet the aforementioned exact phrase in hopes that Ad Hoc will be mine! 8-)

Hmmm… If I were to win, I would go with the caramelized sea scallops for your dinner, with a shot of Patron on the side. :)

Mmmm chocolate chip cookies!

owww!

Love this post, the recipe links, and the contest! I really want to get my hands on this book….

Fantastic…thank you!

Thanks for the opportunity…a free cookbook would be a great early Christmas surprise!

Ooooh, a cookbook! I could always use another one to inspire me!

I’ve been waiting forever to cook from this cookbook! Thanks for the giveaway!

Im in!

Those carmelized sea scallops look delicious!

I would love to win a cookbook to add to my collection and this one looks wonderful :)

Oh man, Thomas Keller deliciousness. That banana bread pudding — possibly WITH the caramel ice cream (maybe a drizzle of chocolate sauce on top?) — is so getting made in the next week.

I’m all about comfort food. Bring it on Thomas Keller!

Nicely done! And tweeted.

That book looks amazingly delicious!

Wow that’s dedication. Thanks for the recipes!

mmmmm Thomas Keller! I can’t wait to own this book. I want to try the Ad Hoc Brownies! Love chocolate, love to bake, and if anyone can make what most people choose to bake out of a box seem out of this world, its Thomas Keller.

Social comments and analytics for this post…

This post was mentioned on Twitter by tastespotting: ssh, the west coast is still sleeping…win a copy of Ad Hoc at Home signed by Thomas Keller: http://is.gd/4QPYo...

Love it! Will make you everything in this book. Twice.

Hmm…. I’m thinking Grilled Chicken, Heirloom Tomatoes with Succotash, Potatoes (you did mention potatoes) and Orange Chiffon Cake with Rhubarb Filling for dessert. Now I don’t “tweet” but here you go anyway: “win a copy of #AdHocAtHome from @TheDelicious! http://is.gd/4QPYo”

Thanks for doing all that research, I can’t believe there are actually that many of the recipes posted. What’s the deal with no index though? The last cookbook I bought was just the same and I ended up handwriting one in. I mean don’t you think that’s take cost cutting measures a little too far? They want you to buy the book but aren’t really interested in whether or not you’ll use it. Rant, rant.

All I can say is … yum!!

pineapple upside-down cake = amazing. that’ll definitely be the first recipe i’ll be looking at!

Well, I was planning on buying this book, but I’d love to win it!

I am leaving a comment :P

thanks for compiling these, but i still want the book! tweeting now…….

I am really looking forward to WINNING this one. Everything looks so tasty and delicious!

I love cookbooks — sign me up!

Mmmm, pork belly confit!

I have always admired Thomas Keller from afar–never being near enough to any of his restaurants but enjoying his cookbooks nonetheless. I have always wanted to try pork belly at home–this book would be great! thanks for the opportunity!

Oh, I want this book so bad! Wait… I already have it! :-)

Just wanted to say thanks for including my baby-blog in your list…..

The book is really amazing, I have a hard time choosing what to cook next from it, every food lover should get it!

wow! it all sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to make the brownies! I’d love to win the book!

Banana bread pudding sounds like a delicious idea and something that I wouldn’t share!

I think I’ll try the apple fritters.. for starters :).

The pictures are so drool worthy, I’d love to see the rest of them!

Am I the only one who’s not seen this book and its glory before? I need to get out more.

keeping my fingers crossed!!

i would love this cookbook to get my food blog jump-started!

If the pictures and tasty peeks indicate what is to come inside this book… I am even more excited than I thought I was! Deliciousness!!!

Send the book over this way!

My oh my, how amazingly mouth-watering!

EVERYTHING looks delicious. Thanks for this post!

I don’t reprint published recipes, but I have a few other Ad Hoc posts on my site: Fried Chicken, Potato Pave, Chicken Stock, Garlic Confit, and the Cauliflower Soup.

Meatballs are coming up tonight or tomorrow.

So bribing you with an offer to bake those delicate chocolate chip cookies. And I’ll even use Teuscher dark chocolate bars. Deal?

You are a soldier! Thanks for doing the legwork for us! Can’t wait to try my hand at the blowtorch rib roast :)

Oooooooooooo, nice chalkboard cover art, not to mention the photos of the mighty tasty recipes under the cover. Well done, Mr. Keller…. Top o’ the hog to you!

like I said in my tweet: please, please, please let it be me! :)

This is a really nice reference for his recipes on the web. Thank you.

Just drooling here over the fried buttermilk chicken. I think I need to make that.

What a great giveaway!! & as for cooking for you??? I’m easy, just name the dish!

Ack! Too many choices! But if I win , I’ll absolutely cook you something special! ;-)). I’ve been a fan of TKell since eating at his place in Las Vegas, several years ago. Would love to get his take on home cooking! Mmm…

I follow on Twitter & tweeted:

https://twitter.com/catsee/status/5562299289

Mmmmm. Look at all the beautiful photography! I like the simplicity and homeyness of the images. Leek Bread Pudding sounds like it could become a staple Thanksgiving dish and look at that pineapple upside down cake, my grandma always makes one during the holidays, I like that they added lots of big pineapple chunks, that’s the best part.

I would love to be a winner!!!

and so would my boyfriend because we spend quality time together trying new recipes.

Yay Cookbook!

Wow. That was a lot of work. Thank you for aggregating all of the TK recipes out there. If you find yourself in my neck of the woods, I’d be more than happy to invite you to our table.

Wow! This book looks amazing. I can’t wait to read it cover to cover and try the Rainbow Chard pictured above!

I love Thomas Keller’s work. My desire is to someday open a family style restaurant and when I saw this book I thought WOW! this is going to be great!

The home glazed cioppollini onions are to die for. Seriously, I would give up my first born for these babies.

Yet another reason that college students eat so poorly… read a [this] book and eat like an adult!

I think I held my breath while reading this entire post. I’m a little light-headed now. If I don’t win, I’m okay with that…I’ll just come here for recipes and copy your list. Hmm…win-win for everyone, eh?

Yes….I’m here hoping to win the copy of the cookbook….not gonna lie! But I had visited your site before and truly love what you do!

Keep it up!!!

Well it all looks so good, I don’t even know where to start!

I want this book so bad.

Thanks: this is a great giveaway! And I want to try that leek pudding :)

Great giveaway! This cookbook looks amazing! Here’s my tweet:
http://twitter.com/cupcake_muffin/status/5563273461

YUMM!!! :)

If Thomas Keller had a nachos recipe, I’d make that for you.

It’s hard to decide what to make when all the recipes look so good! I would probably make the caramelized scallops first.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this book– I may need to make the chicken soup tonight!

Thank you for putting all of these links together, now you know what I will be doing the rest of the morning! I would love to win the cookbook, as I certainly won’t be eating at any of his restaurants soon, sadly, too spency!

Oooh, I was looking for a recipe for pineapple-upside-down cake! This looks like just the book to have on display on my bookshelf :)

You can never have too many cookbooks!

This book looks amazing!

Excellent work and a cookbook giveaway too. Amazing!!!

Oh wow I just added a ton of recipes to my must try list!

I got to chill with @inuyaki & @nose2tailathome this weekend and they love ad hoc. I have never been. Winning the cookbook would give me back some cool points!

Excellent job on collecting all that info, you rock!

Great stuff. We ate at Ad Hoc on our honeymoon last year and can’t wait to get the book.

Here’s hoping that Ad Hoc at Home will be mine!!!!!! :)

i hope i win, i hope i win! i want to make EVERYTHING in the book :)

Love the Bouchon cookbook and have this one on my wishlist.

Thanks for the index of Keller recipes on the internet. I’m bookmarking this page.

Oh, I’m random… pick me!

Leek bread pudding and apple fritters, yes please.

Count me in

Nothing like an awesome giveaway to lure out the lurkers! Here’s hoping I get to have an Ad Hoc Thanksgiving. If I don’t get lucky, will be back to check out your recipe links. I’m off to tweet this.

Unnngghhh those crispy chicken thighs with fennel look soooo good! I will make them and eat them for me, but I will take a picture for you. I realize I don’t need the book to make them, but it’s so much more fun to spill food on a shiny book while cooking than on an internet printout!

i want this horribly much

All of this looks soooooo good! I think I’ll spring an impromtu romantic evening on the hubby so I have an excuse to make the carmelized sea scallops tonight. Thanks for the post.

So happy to stumble across your blog from Twitter.
The recipes look perfect for my fall cooking, I especially want to make the dish of green chards.

:):)

Your post looks great!!! Loving the tweeting as well. Thomas Keller is an amazing chef and his food reflects how easy and simple food can be when you prepare it correctly! Oh and he uses bacon in alot of recipes!! Always a plus!

Thanks for 18 links – the fried buttermilk chicken is on the top of my list!

Wonderful! Thank you so much!

Banana bread pudding!
Fingers crossed.

Sounds like a great cookbook! I have Bouchon, which is fun to read (and to cook from).

Thomas Keller, I really heart you.

I love Ad Hoc! I had brunch there once and it was delicious :)

I can’t wait to get this book. Even better if I won it…
Great website!

All, I will cook all of them for you

That chicken soup with dumplings looks like a winner to me!

Yeah!! A chance at a signed copy of “Ad Hoc”. Count me in :)

mmmmm – Chicken soup with dumplings… Love it!

I’d love a copy of this cookbook!

I LOVE THOMAS KELLER!!!!!!!!!!!! i went in for a day to work in both bouchon, and the bakery. it was awesome.

Ad Hoc was one of the best meals I ate in Sonoma. Simple and very lovely!

Wow, thank you. Bookmarking this page!

Can’t wait to start cooking from the book.

I’m hungry already and can’t wait to get cooking

I have French Laundry and Bouchon books and was about to buy Ad Hoc but would kill for a signed copy, I will hold off purchasing online for another day just in case I win. Thanks for the great contest!

This book is soooo gorgeous, and i’m itching to try some of the recipes!

Mmm, apple fritters! I have a thousand and one apples left over from my food coop–this sounds like a perfect use for them!

YUMMY!!!

Looks amazing! Thanks so much :)

raise your hand if the Honey-Glazed Cipollini Onions is your idea of a dream come true!!

Maybe if I had a copy of this cookbook, the family would have a chance at seeing me cook for a change. ;-)

A great book, would love to have a signed copy and will cook you any recipe you choose, though I’d probably go with the first recipe, the buttermilk fried chicken :-)

Must… have… cook… book..

I would totally make the Honey-Glazed Cipollini Onions, because at Vie, in Western Springs, IL, where I intern, we make a cipollini aigre doux, and I love it so :)

Vie is known for New American, seasonal & local cuisine. Chef Paul Virant is awesome, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity of interning there!

i want this bad

RAINBOW CHARD for you, dear Delicious. If you’re a hermitess, you need your greens!!

I want it! Looks like something I would actually like to read ;D

Count me in for the cooking book! I love reading cooking books!

gah! Tempting enough for me to open a twitter account…..

yumm, would love to win!

Bring on the pineapple upside down cake!

I’m really excited for this cookbook! From what I’ve heard, it’s a lot more ‘home cook friendly’ than his other books. I’m immediately drawn to the leek bread pudding. Something about that just sounds so satisfying and delicious for a cozy fall evening, don’t you think?

What a prized cookbook this would be!

mmmm…food porn..my fav.!

This book is at the top of my wishlist! Thanks for the recipe links too. I have heard that the fried chicken is beyond compare :)

The food look so good! Yum!

tweeted: http://twitter.com/shopgurl/status/5570293500

Because I want one of my boys to get this book instead of The Sports Guy’s new book.

i really want the recipe for his oreo’s. really really.

Tweeted and am commenting — WOW! thanks for collecting all this in one place!

Don’t have a web site. Don’t ‘tweet’, either. Love to cook really good food, though, for my fire crew.

Chicken and Dumplings for the win!!

yay! i’m feeling like a winner!

Definitely count me in for a chance of getting my hands on this book. Yeah!

This book looks really interesting!

Do want!!

I’ve been drooling over a chance at that book for some time.

Jessica

Count me in – this book is currently on my wishlist!

I would be all over that banana bread pudding!!! I hope I win!

Holy moly! What an exhaustive list of recipes. Kudos for tracking them all down like that.

Exactly: “Because You Know You’re Getting the Book Anyway”

You can never have enough cookbooks. This one is gorgeous.

Its cookbooks like this that make me feel like dropping out of school and just spending my days cooking. This is a beautiful book, I would love to win.

Thanks for the contest!

Count me in! And thanks for your research skills!

Ate at Bouchon this summer, and am now in love with Thomas Keller.

Swoon.

i hope to eat at one of his restaurants someday!

The Confit of Pork Belly would probably be the thing i’d take a stab at…

I would love to get this~ and I would make you the brownies if you would come to Melbourne.. :)

I love thomas keller. I fell in love with his food after I read French Laundry.

The more I read about this book the more scared I am of it. I feel like it’s the first step into my kitchen taking over my life, and I have over 200 cookbooks.

Yay! I am excited to potentially win this cookbook! =) Me loves food.

I want a new book! I want one with Pretty Pictures & Recipes! I want one by Thomas Keller!

I forgot to say that I’ll cook whichever recipe you like, but you’ll have to come to SF for dinner.

Beautiful book, I’d love to win it! Thanks for the chance!

ooh i hope i get his book! it would be a real treat for the holiday seasons! :)

just commenting cuz I really want this book

I shall cook for you carmelized scallops. And I will have for you some of the works of my favorite contemporary novelist.
KM

If I were to win this I would attempt to cook any recipe in the book for you if you were to make it to our house.

Definitely the buttermilk chicken or pineapple upside down cake…either one! This would be nice.

Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!

I will make the scallops and they will be amazing.

thanks for the generous offer. i think i’d make the fried chicken first.

Fried chicken yum.

we would love this book and send you the chocolate chip cookies if we win!

i’ve made the honey glazed cipollini onions and can attest to their deliciousness. i’d be happy to make them for you if i won!!

I love Thomas Keller! I’ve been dying to make his glazed cippollini onions. Yum!

The roast chicken, it should get cold enough to turn on the oven soon enough. When it does there will be roast chicken.

Well this was a pretty thorough book review. Looking forward to adapting some of these to a Japanese kitchen!

this cookbook looks fantastic. would be great to win it!

What I’d cook for you: his fig-stuffed roast pork loin recipe.

What we’d watch while we stuffed ourselves: We have an ongoing project on our site to watch every Jane Lynch movie ever made. Appropriately, then, I’d make this for you, and we’d settle down to watch … [drumroll] … Julie & Julia. Bon appetit!

Wonderful giveaway, my fingers are crossed! Off to tweet right now…

Love Thomas Keller! <3

Good luck to me! What a great giveaway!

It’s amazing. That’s a really huge work. Thank you for sharing.

I love cooking! Trying to build my cookbook collection… this would help!

Amazing book! Definitely the fried chicken…yummm!

Definitely trying the tarragon chicken recipe!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the AdHoc Fried chicken recipe….have been dying to try it out soon. With a new recipe book, I wont have a reason why I can’t do it :)

I got to dine at Ad Hoc a few weeks ago and was glad a book came out.

i’ve been to ad hoc and really enjoy the food. made his infamous fried chicken numerous times, now would like to win the book to try out his other recipes! please pick me!!!

-Chris

Fantastic collection you’ve got here. I just love it. I love how you collected all the recipes from the web – I may have to “borrow” this one day!
I would make you the banana bread pudding… or anything else you wanted from the book!

That’s a great collection. I have to bookmark this for future reference.

Thomas Keller is a star.

Have been hearing quite a bit about this book. The brownies, ice-cream sandwiches and the banan bread pudding sound good. And I thought I didn’t have a sweet tooth! LOL

Great book ! This book, is my wish for christmas :)

I cook from the French Laundry….and dream of this book!

Great giveaway, very generous!

As if that’s a question! Confit of Pork Belly, no doubt. Woo hoo, and thanks for the giveaway!!

Oh my, that is HARD work! Even if I don’t win, huge thanks for compiling all this info – it made my day. What would I cook from the book? Caramelized Sea Scallops won my heart the moment I read your list, as it usually happens with any list where ‘scallops’ are mentioned…

I’m a brownie lover so I would make Keller’s brownies. :)

Yum Yum! Yes, if you could please do send Ad Hoc straight away, I have some cooking to do!

Thanks for the great compilation of Keller recipes and the giveaway!

First thing that I would make is the pineapple upside down cake!
Thanks for the chance to win this amazing book!

Love the French Laundry! Love Thomas Keller! and would love to make that leak bread pudding!!

Barely have time to tweet before I start cooking…

Don’t bother putting me in for the contest, thanks! I already won this book from Mel @ Bouchon for 2. But I had to say, wow! That looks like an amazing amount of work tracking down all those recipes, so thank you! If I didn’t have the book coming in the mail already, this would have to be my new homepage! Thanks Sarah!

I have the other 2 Keller Cookbooks – not the sous vide one, but would love this one! Have been to Bouchon and TFL – but Ad Hoc is on my list for our nex trip to CA

What more is there to say other than I must try all of these recipes? I have to say I dont appreciate the 15 pounds that are headed for my thighs during this holiday season…although it will be worth it!

please please please let it be me….

I love cooking

i realized i used a different email on my website then my twitter so I am add this on to my last comment. I love cookbooks that much!

I’d like to leave a thoughtful, deliciously inspired post- but the only words that come to mind are “leek” “bread” and “pudding.”

Thank you, TK, thank you, DL!

This is my entry. Thank you!

yeah, i’d like to win this lol

The photos look amazing!

[...] Since it seems unlikely we’ll be spending $1,000 on dinner at the only 3-star Michelin-rated restaurant in the Bay Area, a mere hour and a half away in Napa Valley at The French Laundry, I decided to bring Thomas Keller’s culinary expertise to my house. Actually, I was looking for a recipe involving fish and the beautiful fava beans I bought at the farmers market, and Mr. Keller’s Sauteed Cod with Creamed Corn and Summer Succotash was the only meal appearing on my Epricurious iPhone app. Lucky me.

Your post is great! It’s so true because if you love anything Keller or make one recipe, you’ll end up buying the book. How can you not? The recipes on the web are the best advertisement, because once you make one of them, you realize that you can’t have a complete kitchen at least one of his cookbooks…at least.

Thought you might enjoy the brownie photo from Ad Hoc’s publisher and recipe for Keller’s delicious brownies on my blog. I love how you have the photos and recipe collage. It makes me want to cook every single recipe. Yes, I had to get the cookbook, too!
